James J. Biemer, MD
James (Jim) Biemer, MD, is a board-certified internal medicine physician with over three decades of getting to really know people and their health care needs. He serves a diverse clientele from all over Multnomah County and surrounding communities at his welcoming office in Portland, Oregon.
Dr. Biemer specializes in helping people age gracefully and without missing a step in their active lives. Previously an avid triathlete and distance competitor, he is particularly interested in working with patients to preserve function into old age. Dr. Biemer works closely with each patient regardless of their starting point, identifying and reducing their health risks.
Dr. Biemer has formed close, personal relationships throughout the community. After completing his residency at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., he added fellowship training in research and teaching at the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Oregon Health Science University.
Since then, Dr. Biemer has practiced in the Portland area, almost exclusively at St. Vincent Medical Center. Although running an independent practice of internal medicine since 2008, he has served as St. Vincent Medical Center’s Internal Medicine Section Chief, President of the Medical Staff, and spent 6 years sitting on Providence’s Oregon Community Ministry board, which is responsible ultimately for the quality of care at its 8 hospitals in the state of Oregon.
His interest in longevity medicine – a proactive and preventive approach to caring for people as they grow older – stemmed in part from his many years as a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. This approach now has overlapped with what is called “functional medicine” and is informed by newer adherents to this approach including Dale Bredesen (who wrote “The End of Alzheimers”), Peter Attia (podcast “The Drive” and his new book “Outlive” ), Mark Hyman (podcasts and many books) and David Sinclair (recent book “Lifespan”).
Julia Jones, FNP
Julia came to us in the fall of 2017 from Cleveland, Ohio. She received her MSN from Case Western Reserve University and then joined the Oncology practice at The Cleveland Clinic, working primarily in Palliative Care. She has a special interest in geriatrics and brings with her an emphasis on maximizing her patient’s quality of life. She is especially focused on wellness and prevention in her practice and is excited to help patients utilize healthy lifestyle modifications as important tools in chronic disease prevention and management.
A native of the Pacific Northwest, Julia is thrilled to be back on the West Coast after many years away. Outside of the office, she enjoys exploring Portland with her husband and three young children, cooking, new restaurants, an occasional boot camp class, and cheering on her beloved Fighting Irish.
